Thanks for all the valuable info!! I was wondering if you could do a video explaining how to buy ethereum. What wallets hold it, where you can buy it. I'm very interested in the cryptos (especially since following your videos) have purchase some bitcoin, which I could have used a video on as well, haha, but I want to know the easiest way to get my hands on some ethereum. And also how to use the wallet once i put some coin on there, and also how to take it to a paper wallet. I hope this all makes sense. Thanks again!!
Thanks for the great video!! :D I always watch your new uploads every day on the way home from work. You are a great and engaging speaker. I love your positive attitude and I look forward to your videos everyday.
BTW, i noticed, that you have unclaimed rewards in your wallet:
Technically speaking you do not need to claim them (they will just wait), but if you are active on steemit, it is good idea to claim your SteemPower, because your vote will be stronger, and also you will be able to earn more on curation.
Also.. as you can see, you have some SteemDollars. Whole goal of SteemDollar is to provide a mechanism (smart contract), which will always be more or less equal 1 USD. This should be very good and easy to accept by merchants.
However... few weeks ago weird things start happening:
Why price of SBD started rising? There are few theories.. but one of them are saying, the Bitfinnex problems were responsible, that people lost ability to withdraw money with USDT:
Right now no one actually is sure, why people want to speculate on SBD price, which suppose to go to 1 USD eventually. Actually Steem blockchain has a mechanism which was designed in case if price of SBD would start fall bellow 1 USD. Witnesses can add additional interest to SBD holdings, so then more people should start to keep them long term. Right now interest is 0% (it cannot go bellow 0).
Few days ago @timcliff described an idea, how SBD peg could be fixed:
Why I am telling this to you right now? Because if this will be implemented, probably price of SBD would go back to 1 USD. Right now everyone can sell SBD on poloniex or internal market for more than a dollar.
thank you very much for the clarification! :) I wanted to ask you another thing: should you upvote replies on your posts? I really want to upvote, but I'm wondering if that would be bad for my "powers" because not many other people will upvote the replies on my posts. What do you think?
You can vote for 40 things with 100% vote, or for 80 things with 50%... or any combination. You basically have like 4000% voting power to spent daily (this will change in next HF - default vote will be stronger).
If you vote for 400 things a day, your vote will automatically dilute on that day.
Voting for comments is not good or bad. Value of each post/comment is subjective for every voter, so only voter can decide whether he or she want to vote for that :)
Thank you for the valuable information!
You are welcome my friend
I drop your videos on YouTube and now I’ll be watching them here!
I didn’t get it very well… kik will be a chat app like WhatsApp? Is it a browser?
In fact, I also don´t get very well how to use steemit.. maybe you can make a video about this
This is as mainstream as it can get. Hope people catch up with blockchain concept!
This could really spread the blockchain tech!

rules about votes will slightly change in next hardfork (HF19 - https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/2hfxx1-pre-release-hf19-linear-rewards - really great news :)), but right now you can vote for 40 things with 100% voting power.
Your current voting power can be checked at: https://steemdb.com/@ivanli (on the right)
